THE BANNER-COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON. THURSDAY; MARCH 9, 1922.
THE PEOPLE'S SAY
Office County Court, Oregon City,
March 6, 1922.
( Editor Banner-Courier:
Please allow me space to answer
through the Banner-Courier the ar
ticle in Saturday's Enterprise in
which the assertion is made "that I
am holding up the deputy sheriff's
pay for February because of some
strife which is alleged to exist be
tween myself and Sheriff Wilson."
I have no strife or ill feeling to
ward Sheriff Wilson whatever.
For soma months I have refused to
sign the bill of Deputy Hughes and
now Long comes along and his bill
is not signed for the same reason giv
en in the Hughes case. The law
governing the payment of deputy sher
iffs is very simple:
Chapter 174, Session laws, 1921,
provides, among other things:
"Sec. 3596. The following named
county officials of Clackamas county
shall receive as compensation for
their servies, the following annual
salaries:
1. County pudge, 11600.00.
2. County commissioners f5.00 per
day, etc.
3. County treasurer, J1500.
4. County clerk, J1800.00.
5. Recorder of conveyances, J1500.
6. Sheriff J2100.00.
Assessor $1500.00.
8. School superintendent, $1700.00.
Under subdivision 11 of said sec
tion, it is provided:
11. "The county court of Clackamas
county shall provide for any of the
above named officers or offices of
such deputies and clerical help and
fix the salaries or compensation for
such services of the same as the coun
ty court shall deem advisable; pro
vided, that the deputies or clerical
help so provided for shall be named
by the officer for whom they are pro
vided, or by the officer in charge of
the office for whom they are provided:"
Each officer shall name his deputy
or deputies and the county court shall
fix their salary.
All the salaries of deputies in the
court house are fixed by the county
court, except to Hughes and Long.
I have insisted right along with the
commissioners, that the salaries of
these two officers should be fixed by
the county court and I explained the
law to Long from the bench yes
terday. Now please let me know a
reason why the law should not be com
plied with throughout the courthouse?
Long's bill for February, not signed
by me specifies:
C. J. Long, Booze officer, $150.00.
With equal propriety it could have
been any sum above or below the
sum asked. In other words, the sher
iff fixes the salary of these two de
puties and not the county court as
the plain requirement of the law pro
vides. What does the Enterprise say my
duty is in the premises?
H. E. CROSS. County Judge
A Correction.
In Robert Ginther's article of the
last issue there was this closing re
mark as it appeared in the print: "The
American people can get any kind
of government they want through the
representative system. So cherish
ing all that is good and great in our
American systems of government, let
us work to keep it truly a government
of, by, and for the interests as Lin
coln so nobly expressed it."
The word "interests" was substi
tuted, through error by the typist, for
the word "people."
It should have read: "The Ameri
can people can get any kind of gov
erning they want through the repre
sentative system. So cherishing all
that is good and great in our Ameri
can system of government, let us
work to keep it truly a government of,
by, and for, the people as Lincoln so
Nobly expressed it."
The Banner-Courier gladly makes
this correction in justice to Mr. Gin
ther and his excellent contribution,
"Individualism vs. Colletciveness."

COOPERATIVE WOOL
GROWERS DISTRIBUTE
$175,00C
The Pacific Cooperative Wool
growers have just made a distribution
of $175,000 to some 1800 members on
the 1921 pool. The association han
dles nearly 1,500,000 pounds of wool
and mohair, or several times ..the
quantity of western Oregon wool han
dled by any other single agency. For
the season of operation, May, 1921 un
til January, 1922, the association
prices averaged about 7 cents per
pound gross over country prices.
As all association wools are care
fully graded into a large number of
standard grades, it is difficult to com
pare with country prices, as country
prices are on ungraded wool without
much classification other than fine
and coarse and medium. Based on
this classification the association sold
255,300 pounds of fine wool consisting
of fine and half-blood grades for an
average price of 24 1-2 cents as com
pared with 85,934 pounds of fine wool
reported sold at an average of 17 1-2
cents by non-members to dealers at
country points between May, 1921, and
February, 1922. The association's
500,000 pounds of medium wools three
eights and one-fourth bloods, sold for
an average price of 22 1-2 cents, com
pared with 170,000 pounds of medium
wool sold at an average price of 15 1-2
cents by non-members to dealers
throughout the same period. The
association's coarse wools are not all
sold at the present time.
The entire association cost covering
grading, baling, weighing, insurance,
shifting in and out, and selling ex
pense exclusive of freight, was 2 1-2
cents a pound, which is the lowest
of any wool association on record. The
association also received the highest
price paid for wools in the northwest
during 1921, which was 33 cents a
pound for choice three-eighths.
This is the first time in the history
jf western Oregon that valley wools
have been graded in accordance with
commercial and proposed United
States wool standards, and sold on
a merit basis. This method of wool
selling brings to the grower of good
wools, the price he deserves, instead
of penalizing him as has been done
in the past.
When his wool was brought in an
ungraded condition, based on the av
erage of pooled wools throughout the
district.
Prominent woolen manufacturers
state that the educational value of the
association's grading process will
bring many thousands of dollars to
the wool growers of the northwest.
Association prices repreesnt the re
sult of orderly marketing as they are
the average of rates made from Au
gust, 1921, to February, 1922. Sta
tistics show that orderly marketing
brings the best prices to producers
over a period of years. Speculation
or holding for peak prices has result
ed disastrously for those who practic
ed it in the past, as they miss the
peaks as often as they hit them.
The association now represents 1900
growers in Idaho, Washington, and
Oregon. Its officers are in the Mor
gan building, Portland.

Political.
The Banner-Courier last week ad
dressed a personal letter to all the
candidates for the senate and house
of representatives, offering to publish
their autobiographies and platforms.
This was done as a courtesy and to
give the voters opportunity to note
some of the things for which the can
didates will work if elected.
This paper has received to date on
ly one reply, that of R. E. Cherrick
and herewith publishes both his auto
biography and platform.
Merry Vale Farm,
Barlow, Oregon.
Kind Friends The editor of the
Banner-Courier has asked me to write
an autobiography or something about
myself. With my modesty it is a
trifle difficult, but will strive to give
outstanding points of my . mediocre
career. Born in Omaha, Neb., in
1885. Folks came from Vermont and
Kansas. Grew up and was educated
largely in Minnesota. Attended rur
al school 3 years; also Minneapolis
schools and graduate of Owatonna,
Minn., high school. Have worked
my way absolutely alone since 13
years old. Have farmed, taught
school and owned and operated a
sawmill. Have one wife and two
boys. - Now own and operate Mer
ry Vale farm, where we specialize in
Hampshire hogs and partridge Wyanr
dotte chickens, and running for the
state senate.
It might be of interest to know that
I have owned a farm and paid taxes
in Clackamas county for the past 12
years. So all these many years have
looked forward to coming to the land j
of promise and fulfillment. Have re-:
sided here over three years.
Platform.
I stand for a graduated income tax
as a means of shifting a part of the
tax burden to those best able to pay;
it, and who do receive the greatest'
protection.
Favor submitting a measure to re
duce millage tax for O. A. C, U. of O.,
etc., about half of what it now is.
Reason we. already know so much
about raising two blades where one
grew before that we have our bins;
full of grain, barns full of stock, and
can't sell them for enough to buy the '
other necessities of life.
Reduce governor's salary from 17500 1
to pre-war basis of $5000. Submit!
it to people with a reduction of all j
other state officials to pre-war basis.
Stand pat that state legislators j
should receive $5.00 per day, $3.00:
per day practically denies a poor man j
the privilege of going to the legis- j
lature. It makes it only a place j
where a rich man can afford to go, or j
a poor man go to get rich. A legis-1
lator's clerk or stenographer gets five :
bucks per day. Some joke. '
Reduce and consolidate various j
commissions. Favor a law or gov
ernor that will appoint honest and
competent men on such important1;
commissions as highway commission,
bo we may get value received. Against !
any further bonds until we know1 j
where we are at. Against orientals j
owning or controlling Oregon land.
For better grammar schools. !

Since
I Got
a
Fordson"
The Fordson Tractor is taking much of the
drudgery out of farm life; it is solving the labor
problem; it is reducing the cost of preparing
land by almost one half of what it was with
horses; and it is saving one third to one half
of the farmer's time; and making farm life
more attractive.
The Fordson will run your threshing machine
and at the most opportune time for you. It
will operate the milking machines, saw your
wood, fill your silo, pump the water, and take
care of every kind of belt work
And don't forget it will plow six to eight
acres in a ten hour day, handling two plows
with ease.
Thus the Fordson is the ideal year-round trac
tor. It will pay for its fall and winter keep in
many ways.
There's a big story to tea you about the Ford
son and a true one come in and get the facts.
Or, if you prefer, telephone or drop us a card
and we will bring them to you.
